ACTION: Notice of SEDAR 42 assessment
webinars for Gulf of Mexico Red
Grouper.

The SEDAR 42 assessment of
Gulf of Mexico Red Grouper will consist
of a series of webinars. This notice is for
a webinar associated with the
Assessment portion of the SEDAR
process. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
DATES: The final assessment webinar for
SEDAR 42 will be held on Thursday,
June 4, 2015, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
eastern time.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held
via webinar. The webinar is open to the
public. Those interested in participating
should contact Julie A. Neer at SEDAR
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT)
to request an invitation providing
webinar access information. Please
request webinar invitations at least 24
hours in advance of each webinar.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions,
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; and (2) a series of
assessment webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a report which compiles
and evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses.

and describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species Management
Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include:
Data collectors and database managers;
stock assessment scientists, biologists,
and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the
Assessment Process webinars are as
follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the Data Workshop, panelists will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population
benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
2. Panelists will recommend the most
appropriate methods and configurations
for determining stock status and
estimating population parameters.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
The meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to the
Council office (see ADDRESSES) at least
10 business days prior to the meeting.
Note: The times and sequence
specified in this agenda are subject to
change.

FY 2015 Regional Coastal Resilience
Grants Program
National Ocean Service (NOS),
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of funding availability.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to announce the policies and
application procedures for the FY 2015
Regional Coastal Resilience Grants
Program. Awards made under this
program will support eligible entities as
they develop or implement activities
that build resilience of coastal regions,
communities, and economic sectors to
the negative impacts from extreme
weather events, climate hazards, and
changing ocean conditions.
Funds will be available to support
activities that: (1) Identify and address
priority data, information, and capacity
gaps; (2) develop tools, as needed, to
inform sound, science-based decisions,
which support regional efforts to plan
for a resilient ocean and coastal
economy; (3) acquire and integrate
socioeconomic information with
physical and biological information to
improve the assessment of risk and
vulnerability for planning and decision
making; (4) understand how hazards
and changing ocean conditions affect
coastal economies, including existing
and emerging sectors that depend on the
ocean and coasts; (5) develop the
information and approaches needed for
improved risk communication, and the
necessary tools, technical assistance and
training tailored toward enhanced
resilience to weather events, climate
hazards, and changing ocean conditions;
(6) evaluate the costs, benefits, and
tradeoffs of systems-based development
or redevelopment approaches that
incorporate both natural defenses and
hard structural solutions; or (7) support
the development of sustainable
recovery, redevelopment, and
adaptation plans and implement
programs and projects that incentivize
rebuilding and development approaches
which reduce risk and increase
resilience.
